Microsoft Power BI Report Server provides an on-premises platform for hosting, managing, securing, and distributing Power BI reports within an organisation’s own network.
It is designed for organisations that need to maintain control over their reporting infrastructure, keep reports and data on-premises, integrate reporting with Windows and Active Directory, or operate in environments where Power BI Service is not the preferred deployment option.
This practical course introduces the deployment and administration of Microsoft Power BI Report Server. You will learn how to install the required server components, configure the report server, publish Power BI reports, manage data sources, organise report folders, and implement access control.
The course begins with the installation and initial configuration of Power BI Report Server. It then demonstrates how to deploy the platform in both standalone and Active Directory domain environments.
You will learn how to:
Install Microsoft Power BI Report Server
Configure the report server web service and web portal
Install Power BI Desktop for Power BI Report Server
Create and publish Power BI reports
Edit, upload, organise, and delete reports
Configure external SQL Server data sources
Manage report folders and shared data sources
Apply access control using local Windows users and groups
Apply access control using Active Directory domain accounts
Back up and restore the report server environment
Upgrade an existing Power BI Report Server installation
Migrate Power BI Report Server to another server
Create mobile report content
Access reports through Power BI Mobile
The demonstrations explain the complete administrative workflow, from initial deployment through report publishing, security configuration, backup, upgrade, and migration.
This course is suitable for:
Power BI professionals
Business intelligence developers
SQL Server administrators
Windows Server administrators
Data analysts
Infrastructure and operations engineers
IT professionals managing on-premises reporting platforms
Organisations evaluating an on-premises Power BI deployment
A basic understanding of Windows Server and Power BI is helpful, but previous Power BI Report Server administration experience is not required.
By the end of the course, you will understand the core components of Power BI Report Server and be able to deploy and administer an on-premises reporting environment.
